1 hour ago, scubascuba3 said:On 8/16/2019 at 12:20 PM, Airalee said:My landlord has been waiting for the password for my unit for almost 2 months now. This week, he made a special trip to Changwattana to speak with them about it and received nothing but blank stares and sheepish grins. He owns 12 units in my building (11 rented out) and so far has only received passwords for 2 of them.
So...it appears to work for some, but not for others. I suppose I can do the mail-in option, but it’s really pretty pathetic that they cannot seem to get their system to work consistently.So he has a different login\password for each property, that's daft. My guesthouse has one login and password which makes more sense
Perhaps because the guesthouse is one unity, with various rooms, whereas in a condominium an owner can buy more singular condos,( not as a guesthouse which is similar to a hotel,) but each unit/condo rented out. And I would guess that that is the only option to register each separately . you can have separate owners for the condo units, but you cant have separate owners for the guesthouse rooms

Just as a matter of interest, Why do you have to wait for a password? Surely a password is of your own making, unique to you? Or it this another way of control?
You have to wait till they send you both.
I still don t know if the email address is my username, as the username and password will be sent email.
Anyone out there that knows if the user name is the email?
Near on 2 months waiting now from Bkk CW.

Would a registered letter from the child to her mother, stating that as they no longer live together since.....date...and that she requires these documents that regard her, she would like to recieve them in someway. Then when you don,t get an answer is it possibile to get copies of the documents from the relevant offices? Using this as proof.
You need some sort of paper trail that you are the only one looking after the girl, and the mothers not interested. Sooner the better.
Maybe even personal letters, between her and her mum, taped phone calls.
There must be a way of getting copies.

The minor, she has dual passports too? Is it possibile for her to travel with you on a foreign passport without the mothers authorization?

A retirement extension can be obtained from how many different types of visa?
I thought all the discussion was we don.t have a visa but we have a retirement extension.

Really? I thought Jomtien did not require tm30?
Think that was if you are the owner of the condo where you live

Would be interesting if it was possibile for someone to try it....have the alternative documentation ready, but present the foreign US letter at the beginning just to experiment.
If refused produce the backup plan.

Interesting. 8 rejected per day.
15,978,892 international passengers passed through Don Meuang in 2018. Let's say that half (7.95 million) of these were arrivals. At 8 rejections per day, the rejection rate is 0.036% or 1 person in every 2,722 arrivals. Just 1 person in every 8 plane loads or thereabouts...
Seems like the vast majority have nothing to worry about. Only a tiny fraction are getting refused entry.
Is that the numbers of passengers coming off international flights? If so would it include Thais traveling back to Thailand or foreigners arriving.?

Yes you can use an income letter from your embassy if they issue one, but the US embassy do not provide income affidavits anymore.
He,s asking that seeing as US embassies in OTHER countries WILL issue a letter of income, if it would be valid in Thailand if the letter was for example from US embassy Phillipines.

It,s straight.

He showed he has it, asked gf to go get credit card from appartment as extra proof - she didnt stayed at airport.
He was put in detention
He believes stamp says no money and land border ( it doesn,t it seems, just says money).
They let him buy a ticket back to Laos.
Gf is going to get personal effects from appartment and join him in Laos

This is purely a theory question, just for the sake of it...
Is the director sso payments a no go just for farang?
Secondly, an employee who finishes work after 1yr and younger than 60 can opt in to the sso voluntary payments, thai and farang. Should they continue to become a company director, could they continue to pay voluntary sso?
Not suggesting for you, but curious if someone knows the answers.

Re an old thread of yours, is it feasible to transfer the company to the family members, making your wife the director, and you become an employee. Pay the social fund for a year, so that then you can opt to stay on it when the company is closed/transferred.
May help you with the social fund and your wife with the mortgage.
I have no idea if financially if it makes sense.

Or 800k in a bank for a year.
You could ask yourself, won't immigration notice the following year, yes they probably will but they are all in on it anyway so no big dealI doubt they would notice, they would be looking for the 3 months after the sxtension date and the following 6months and then the last 3 months. All of which you take in. If all tallies up I think they would just approve. I doubt they would look to see what was provided the year before. But this is just my guess.

I think stepping off the use of the agent once you start is not so easy.
Leastways it will need a full year of preparation Effectively as soon as you have paid the agent you need to have the next years money in the bank, as the following year you will have to take in bank books showing you had the 800,000 ideally from a date before your last extension, (new bank book/accoubt maybe), so that you can show next year you kept the 800,000 for 3 months etc etc etc.
So realistically in my opinion if you decide to go via an agent for one year, you are committing yourself to minimum 2years.
And so on till you have the money in the bank yet you still have to pay that years agents fees
Or, start the 65,000 payments

8 hours ago, 4MyEgo said:Summed up exactly how I would have put it.
It also highlights to me, that there are a hell of a lot of Xpats out there who just don't have that small amount of money in savings, i.e. 800,000 baht that they can just leave in the bank.
The above said, what the hell did all these Xpats do with their savings over the years worked, dare I ask, I mean how sad is it that they have to rely on corrupt agent/immigration officers to keep them in the country for another year, for a price ranging from 15,000-25,000 baht.
It's also sad to see that these Xpats give up there power to these money hungry agents/immigration officers which fuels their greed and if you ask me, I agree, tomorrows increase is your own making and if the 90 day reporting becomes a convenient issue because they have become hungrier, that could be another 5,000 baht every 90 days for example, what then.
Foruntately for those of us who have managed to work, think, save, and know when to say no to corrupted agents/immigration officers, can honestly say with pride that they have nothing over us and never will, excluding the chicken feed of 100 to 500 baht I have donated to cops/immigration officers over time, but 15,000-25,000 all I can say is Som Nam Na ????
You perhaps don,t realise when you are fortunate.
Fortunate in the sense that problems in life have come one at a time.
It is just a question of timing.
You lose your job but have your health, therefore you get back on track.
You become seriously ill but are employed or have savings.
One hurdle is possible to jump.
But when the hurdles, for mere fate, stack themselves, no-where to land and re-coup, then it is really easy to go under.
Too easy to judge

Basically you want to be registered here so to pay 5% instead of 30% tax, but if you register you may be "working".
What would the registering be? At thai tax office, at Amazon?
Does Amazon have to send you the money to the country you are registered at?
Think you need expert advice

To be honest I find finger printing abusive. I mainly go to Thailand 2 times / year on vacation but now will have to reconsider. I avoid countries that take an interest in my fingerprints like plague ( China , US). I come to invest and spend money in your country and you are already seeing me as a criminal? The "prevent trouble makers" is hilarious. It will not prevent anything , it's just dumb. Giving my fingerprints away for some foreign entity where I have absolutely no guarantee on the use would give them too much power. I'm wondering what the GDPR laws are saying on this matter?
So will anyone who enters Thailand need to have their fingerprints scanned ? Are then any exceptions to this (like diplomatic staff, kids etc) or there are no exceptions? Do we fingerprint Thai citizen visiting Europe?
I object too, in the Uk they are used in work places and even in schools.
Many things you can get round making life harder for yourself, but last year at the airport I asked myself what I would di if it was the only way too travel, would I not travel at all because of it?
Suppose a little like the Google consent page that appears every so often, that you ignore, try to trick, swap browser but after a week end up giving in.

Here you have a nice story you can write an article about ThaiVisa / TheNation ...
Hope you are doing fine Zhanna, i would certainly not come back after that experience here personally ????
@DrJack54 ASEAN not Asia, it's prolly a bit like the EU. If a memberstate denies you entry it's prolly marked in some system and the other members will do the same...sucks
EDIT: This old post is mentioning the ASEAN Blacklist too:
Ok.
1. She gets denied in Thailand on a whim. She states 1st trip in 2019
(Zhanna if you could give a run down of last 12 months movements)
2. She moves around Asia.
She is now blacklisted?
From all Asean countries?
Says who?
For how long?
What exactly has she done thats wrong?
Also she had a return flight for 9 days later
